Well, a while back i had a few threads about trying to make a coors light clone. Despite a few of you who had some doubts, it came out tasting very very good, and went over well with some buddies who actually preferred my beer over coors. Here it is:
It took about 10 days to ferment (@ 55 deg F) until a stable FG was achieved. Then had it lagering at 35 deg for 40 days. Even though i made this beer using all DME it came out exactly like i imagined it would. Dry, yet a nice malty aftertaste leaving it very drinkable for a hot summer day or a good "dart shooting" brew.
For those of who would like to try it out, here is the shizznit:
- Munton's Extra Light DME 3 lbs.
- Rice Syrup Solids 1 lb
- Corn Sugar 1 lb
- 1oz Saaz Hops
- Saflager S-23 (lager Yeast)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OG is about 1.042-1.046
FG is about 1.004-1.008
135 calories per 12oz beer
9 IBU's
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Boil 2.5 gal of water then toss in the DME, Rice Solids and corn sugar as usual, once back up to boil, throw in the hops for 60 min. Flame out, chill to 60 deg, then ferment at 52-58 deg F.
After active fermentation is complete and your hydro reading is stable, lager it at 35 deg for 40 days or longer.
On another note, thanks to all who helped me out through my first beer i create on my own.
